This one needs environment variables set before it will start: GRETL_CLI (Optional explicit path to gretlcli or gretlcli.exe.), GRETL_GUI (Optional explicit path to the visible Gretl GUI executable.), GRETLMCP_WORKSPACE_DIR (Optional parent directory for Gretl run workspaces and generated artifacts.), GRETLMCP_OPEN_GUI (Set to false to prevent script-running tools from opening visible Gretl GUI windows by default.). The author declared them in the registry entry; get the values from the project itself.
